Cigarette butts, for ex- ample, contain toxic chemicals that can end up in storm drains and con- taminate our water systems. Trash and other items falling from unse- cured loads can cause serious traffi c accidents. According to Arizona law, "A person shall not drive or move a vehicle on a highway unless the vehicle is con- structed or loaded in a manner to prevent any of its load from drop- ping, sifting, leaking or otherwise escaping from the vehicle." (A.R.S. 28-1098.A). According to the Arizona Depart- ment of Public Safety, violators could be charged with a class two misdemeanor and the fi nes, plus court costs, can range from $460 to well over $1,000, depending on injuries.
